When you read that Trump has spent more than $4.6 million on Facebook ads since December, you know that he and his campaign are up to no good, and, since it is Trump, you know that that no good involves a lot of lying BS.
Think Progress founder and editor Judd Legum has uncovered exactly what they are spending a good deal of that money on:
2. One of the demographics that Trump struggles with the most is young women.

4. Yes, there is a disclaimer that says: "Actor portrayal. Actual testimonial." But it appears for a split second in an extremely tiny font
And there is nothing that suggests whoever made this testimonial is a young woman, which is clearly the point of this ad pic.twitter.com/IbSE6fRUfr

6. You don't think young hipsters like Trump? You obviously haven't met Thomas from Washington. Or as he's known on istockphoto "bearded and tatooed hipster coffee shop owner" pic.twitter.com/PVnwNt5tTU

I’m not on Facebook myself, but if you are you might consider posting this diary or…
This article from Design Taxi or…
Even Judd’s tweets themselves in hopes that we can somewhat counter the phony crap Trumpco. is peddling.
One of Judd’s followers also has a good idea:
Track down each of the models they are using and find the ones opposed to Trump. Not hard.
Cut an ad series where models describe why they are opposed to Trump.
Call it “not my type”.
Surely a PAC could roll this out quickly.

Lies likes these are the aseptic ground in which Democracy is buried.
